My sister started working for the post office in January. A few weeks ago, she fell and hurt her knee walking up some steps delivering mail. I told her to go in, she said she couldn't because they told her if she was injured or involved in any accidents on the job during her first 90 days she would be fired. This includes being bitten by a dog, if someone hits her in her mail carrier jeep, and any injuries.

Today, she slipped on a muddy driveway and broke her ankle. They told her she would be allowed light duty in the office(she lives in Vancouver, works in Portland, broke her right ankle and drives a stick) until her ankle heals so they can pay the worker's comp claim, but advised her after it was healed she would likely be fired.

Ok, as far as I know, isn't it illegal to penalize an employee for on the job injuries? Anyone have any input? This just doesn't seem right.

Hello!

I am a US citizen w/o a SSN(i dont want one either) and it has been hell on earth trying to open a bank account. I have full legal backing that banks are not allowed to refuse to opeon the basis of my of SSN, but they are giving me the brush off because they dont want to deal with me.

Does anyone know of a good lawyer who can write a letter on legal letterhead for me? Since I know I have a legal ground to do this, its not shady at all, and I just need a little help to motivate the lawyers at the bank to get off their ass and look at what I am sending them.

I just want a checking account! sheesh. It really shouldn't be this difficult.


Thanks in advance!
